New Cute Addition to Maisonvogue's Raccoon Community

New Cute Addition to Maisonvogue's Raccoon Community 

I had a lovely surprise yesterday afternoon when one of our Resident Raccoons 'Daisy' bought her new baby to eat at our feeding bowls 

I first saw them through the living room window ...there was this sweet super cute baby raccoon with it's Mum ...whom we named 'Daisy' several years ago ...she actually will come out of the woods if I call her by name 

Daisy seems to have just the one baby this year ..last year she had 3 babies and the year before that she had 4 ...I am guessing she is just getting too old to produce many more 

Not a traditional bird feeder but this colander is raccoon proof ..very important in our garden ...it is really for the birds and has black oiled sunflower seeds in it ..but whenever the raccoons can get some out of the feeders they do .
Here the baby has quickly learnt ...it was about 11.30am when Daisy and baby came to feed ..they are nocturnal so shouldn't be out at this time but I guessed that Daisy had a baby or two as she has been coming out near midday to feed for several weeks now ..she always does when she is feeding her babies ..I guess to get some food before all the other raccoons come to raid the feeders and eat the dry cat food I give them after dark ...

I decided to name the baby , no idea if it's a boy or girl , 'Blossom' ..Daisy was telling Blossom that it was time to go 

So off Daisy and Blossom toddled ..they went towards a big terra-cotta drainage pipe where I have seen Daisy go before ...I can't think that she is living in it as the rain water gushes down through it when we have a storm and we have had storms daily for a few weeks now 
Perhaps it's just where they go to hide on their way to their Den in our woods 

Thanks for letting me share with you
